I was going through my fridges freezer when I came across some thin pork chops. I was wondering what to do with them and I thought that it had been a while since I had had tonkatsu.
Tonkatsu
is a Japanese style pork cutlet that is breaded with
panko bread crumbs
and deep fried. (I don't have a deep fryer so I normally shallow fry the pork in some oil in a pan.) I really like tonkatsu because it is nice a crispy on the outside and really juicy on the inside. It is great by itself and it is even better in tonkatsu sauce. (Yep, it has its own sauce.) Tonkatsu sauce is similar to a thick Worcestershire sauce. It is a pretty quick and easy dish. I normally have everything that I need on hand, other than the pork.

You should be able to find both the panko bread crumbs and the tonkatsu sauce at your local asian grocery store. I have the Bulldog brand of tonkatsu sauce.

Perfect for me as we can only get thin pork chops! Is the sauce something you buy! And is 'panko' just a dry bread crumb or something special? So many questions for something so simple!They looke perfectly done.

Okay - so I made these yesterday, but baked them at 400 for about 6 minutes per side and mmmmmmmm,mmmmm,mmmmm they we're so good!! I was in a hurry so I didn't take a photo, but I'm gonna make them again this weekend so I can post them on my blog:)!!Thanks Kevin!

shadowstarr: I start the stove at medium heat and take it from there. If it looks like it might be burning the crust I turn the burner down a bit and if it is not cooking as fast as I feel that it should I turn it up a bit. I guess the trick is to keep an eye on it at all times.

Is the bulldog sauce the one that is made from vegetables? There are 2 to 3 types of bulldog sauce that I find confusing, have u tried the rest? Is this also suitable for takoyaki, or you have better recommendation, tks.

Lalaland: The bulldog sauce is the one made with vegetables and it is similar to a Worcestershire sauce. There are three kinds that I know of a Worcestershire sauce, a tonkatsu sauce and a chuno sauce. Any of the bulldog sauces would work well with takoyaki.

Another great recipe. Made a batch of this for dinner tonight, while cooking Kare to stick in the fridge for the next few days. Tonkatsu was pretty damn good. Managed to find Bulldog tonkatsu sauce at my local asian grocer, good sauce that is. Great thing is I still got some extra pork chops and a bag of panko so i can do another batch later this week. Your recipes rock my kitchen.
